Re: picket lines*

Chris,

I have marine rope available & can give you just about any length you would
like.  It is high quality rope with a very high tensile strength.  Also, it
does not rot.  I would suggest using 3/8" line.  It is light & easy to
handle & will do the job.  The 3/8" diameter sells for $1.00 per ft.
